OBJECTION!

In all societies there is one constant that is of the law, or to interprate it loosely rules, it may even be said that the law of the land (and it's implementation) reflects the society. Since the emergence of a structured society various laws and legal rulings have been made and changed according to those who are in charge of social control, in modern terms this body is generally understood as the legislative body.

In most cases members of the legislative body are given the right to create and interpret the law while in other cases, such as societies that abide by the Islamic law, the legislative body have not the right to create laws, therefore in such societies legal ruling should not be given or may be considered as invalid if the ruling is found to be in conflict with the law itself, while it may sound obvious such cases have occured in the past.

In modern democratic societies however the infalibility of the law regardless of its source has come under constant scrutiny and the legitimacy of a law have come under question when it is considered to be disadvantageous or unjust to a particular segment of the society. On the other hand, in religious societies, partcularly of those in the same religious community do not question the law and does consider the law itself to be infalible, the interpretation of the law however have differed from one community to another and have infact come into conflict with each other.

The importance of the law is not something to be neglected or ignored however rules and regulation is best to used maintain a safe degree of order in a society instead of fully controling it therefore for society to progress safely laws and its interpertation, much like the society itself, have to be subject to change to maintain order.
